Application filed August 28, 1917. Serial No. 188,668.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that T, CLARENCE E. S. PAR- TON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lampasas, in the county of Lampasas, State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Stove-Lid and Damper; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to the art of cooking stoves, and particularly to an improved stove-lid and damper, in other words a combined stove-lid and damper, and one of the objects of the invention is to provide a device of this kind comprising a stove-lid having openings, and a damper therefor having openings, which may be brought into and out of registration with the openings of the lid, whereby the heat from the fire-pot may be regulated, in fact increased or decreased.

A further object of the invention is to provide a lid and a damper, each having a spiral opening, so that by turning the damper in one direction or the other, its opening may be brought into and out of registration with the opening of the lid, so as to increase or decrease the escape of heat from the firepot, whereby the heat on the kettle may be more or less intense.

In practical fields the details of construction may necessitate alterations falling within the scope of what is claimed.

The invention comprises further features and combination of parts, to be hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings and claimed.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a plan view of a portion of a top of a cook stove showing the stove-lid and damper as applied.

Fig. 2 discloses perspective views of the stove-lid and dam er.

Referring more especially to the drawings, 2 designates the top of a cook stove, which top is provided with suitable stove hole openings 3. A cook stove lid 5 engages said stove hole opening. This lid is provided with a spiral opening 12, and the damper 7 has a similar spiral opening 13. The damper 5 has a lug 14 to enter the opening 15 of the lid 7. It is to be noted that the damper 7 may be rotated in one direction or the other, so as to throw the spiral openings of the lid and the damper into and out of registration, Or rotated, so as to entirely or partially register said openings, and when entirely or partially registering said openings the heat on the kettle may be increased or decreased as the case may require.

The invention having been set forth, what is claimed as new and useful is 1. In combination, a stove-lid and damper having swivel connections to hold them concentric, and provided with spiral openings, whereby, as the damper is moved in one direction or the other, its opening is moved into and out of registration with the opening of the lid.

2. In ombination, a stove lid having an elongated spiral opening, a damper, means for swivelly connecting the damper concentrio on the lid, said damper having an elongated spiral opening similar to the first spiral opening, whereby, as the damper is moved in one direction or the other, both spiral openings are brought into and out of gradual registration, whereby the draft may be graduated to a finer or greater degree.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
